Official Announcement for NSXPO 2014!

[Mr. Fuji]

FYI- If anyone has money to burn and wants to rent an exotic in Ohio, try Enalux (www.enalux.com).

Unfortunately for me their website won't allow non-US residents to register. I have exchanged a couple of emails and was eventually offered a deal on a Maserati Gran Turismo for $499 a day (with mileage restrictions), which is apparently half off the regular price.

Judging by their website they appear to have many cars, but my reply requesting other options for NSXPO has been ignored. I guess they don't need the business? Not sure, but if you just gotta have a Lambo in Ohio they are the guys to see. Perhaps Americans will have better luck engaging them.

Anyway, for $499 a day I could probably just ship my car from YYC. I guess it's Hertz or similar for me!

Hey everyone,

On our official announcement post we did not have any Honda/Acura involvement we could speak of. Since then........



Not only did Honda/ Acura step up last year in NC now they are on board in big ways for 2014. They are becoming a major sponsor now and I am working closely with the people I need to to make this year amazing. We have some large announcements coming up today and tomorrow. Head over to nsxpo2014.com to see the latest news. You WILL NOT want to miss this year.

Ted was passionate about the NSX team being a part of the event and he wanted to help us make it a success. Honda is stepping up in big ways to support our group and it is greatly appreciated. Ted has organized folks from all over Marysville and Union county Ohio to rally behind us and bring us some amazing things.

Let me be the first to say,


"Awesome"

Brian you are putting together a really awesome NSXPO. I can't wait!

Congrats to Ted Klaus for bringing Honda on board for NSXPO 2014!

 

[docjohn]

Fantastic work to the whole of the xpo 14 planning group! Thanks to Ted and those at corporate who care about current owners enough to change course and support Brian and the nsxca in their efforts to entertain our members.

 

[Anopheles]

Regarding the Transportation Research Center (TRC) is the test drive flat out or parade style?

 

[docjohn]

lol....I'd love to know what the survival rate on flat-out would be.

It will most certainly be parade style. However I am sure it will be fun.

I had some attempts at doing a top speed event at an airport but insurance was impossible along with FAA clearance being near impossible.

 

[Lostbuckeye]

This is going to be epic!!! Great work to all of you that are organizing this event for us. It makes me proud to be a Buckeye. And thanks to Ted and the Honda/Acura team for honoring us in this way. I hope I'm not out of line and I don't know your arrangement with Honda/Acura, but are you going to give them some space on the home page of NSXPO14.com as a sponsor? They have definitely earned it. I'm so excited to be going to this event. Just awesome.

 

[Cincy Jamie]

Great work Brian. This is going to be one hell of an event. Bring on October!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Yinzer]

From another thread:

You do not want to miss what we have in store this year. We will be doing some amazing drives that will include scenic views that even Car and Driver says are some of the best in the country. Yes, fun twisty roads in Ohio will take you through the Hocking Hills state park while the leaves are changing.

I'm looking forward to my first Hocking Hills visit! Anyone recognize the crashed NSX mention in the article below?

Hi

Hm well here is the deal. I wrote that 24/7 I had my lucky underwear on and that this was not the time to go commando hoping to be the chosen one. But then I by accident went commando and just hours later I got a email from NSXCA that I had a spot. Now you say that you are responsible and I owe you. Do you also claim responsibility for the commando bit?

I am sure that we will come to a understanding in 2015

Best regards

When you said you were going to go commando, I decided for the sake of the NSX community drastic action had to be taken so I decided to get married that week and give my spot on the tour to you. Nothing is more terrifying than a Norwegian commando........

 

[IRVINFLA]

Brian: Assuming chosen for Factory Tour- If we can't arrive in time for Wednesday tour, will the place go into the Thursday slot? Doesn't the Thursday tour time conflict with the group photo/parade laps & lunch at the track?

 

[Oldduffer]

This NSXPO is going to be LEGENDARY.

Brian: Assuming chosen for Factory Tour- If we can't arrive in time for Wednesday tour, will the place go into the Thursday slot? Doesn't the Thursday tour time conflict with the group photo/parade laps & lunch at the track?

Everything at the track will be completed no later than 12 noon. Those in the Thursday time slot will have to leave by 11:30 or so to make it.

If you see the email NSXCA sent out we would like everyone's reply on to which day is best for them. If you are chosen for Wed and are not able to make it we would ask you to let us know so we can offer it to someone else.


Oldduffer - YES IT WILL BE

Factory Tour Places

and if you are registered and didn't get the email that Brian is referring to let me know here at [email protected]. Maybe check your spam folder first.

We are doing everything we can to get as many members in as possible. There will be other activities going on at the same time as the tour since only 40 folks will be on each tour (per email referenced above). There will be a second group photo so everyone will be in at least one group photo though again, we are trying to minimize tour attendees missing anything crucial.

This NSXPO has been the most challenging to organize due to the new events that we are thrilled to be adding. Our hotel counts have increased tremendously and we're experiencing a few bumps in the road right now working with our vendors. We'll get it all worked out and appreciate everyone's patience with the process. If you are experiencing any issues with your hotel reservations, online registrations email me directly [email protected] or reach out to Brian. If you simply forgot to sign up for the track event, shame on you, but there is time to still do it. Motorsportreg.com

The event this year will all come together to be . . . as previously mentioned by another member

Epic

 

[GECKO]

Since we are doing parade laps and driving on the Honda Test track............do we need to bring helmets?

Yes, please bring helmets if you have them and they can fit in travels. There will be some available to borrow also.

 

[GECKO]

Is it mandatory to get onto the track, I guess is what I should have asked..........Thanks Brian

Absolutely not. If someone chooses not to participate in the parade laps that is fine.
